A disponibilidade de vários exames e procedimentos médicos, sintomas subjetivos resistentes ao tratamento, um desejo da classe médica de descartar todas as causas médicas potenciais e a falta de informação sobre a Síndrome de Munchausen por procuração (MSBP) são algumas das razões para um diagnóstico tardio. Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre a importância da informação dos profissionais da saúde sobre a MSBP. Métodos: Uma revisão sistemática da literatura foi realizada, através da base de dados PUBMED. Foi utilizado o protocolo PRISMA para realização desta revisão. Resultados: Dos 117 artigos encontrados, 8 foram selecionados para o artigo. Discussão: Apesar de alguns estudos relatarem o aumento do conhecimento pelos profissionais da saúde sobre a MSBP, existe uma subestimação de casos. Conclusões: Um dos motivos para a subestimação é a falta de informação dos profissionais da área da saúde sobre essa síndrome.
Introduction: The treatment of fibromyalgia is evolving, and more and more drugs are available on the market. Objective: To verify the response, tolerability, and adverse events of the use of psychotropic drugs in the treatment of fibromyalgia. Methods: A systematic review of articles on fibromyalgia and psychotropic medications were carried out, indexed in the MEDLINE database (PUBMED) with the MeSH terms: “fibromyalgia”, “psychotropic drugs,” and “treatment outcome”. Of the 89 studies identified, 23 met the eligibility criteria. Results: It has been seen that some classes of psychotropic medications have significantly improved patients' painful episodes, which have an important positive impact on quality of life. Thus, it was realized that the pharmacological treatment of psychiatric disorders associated with fibromyalgia improves the condition of the patient's acceptance of the disease. Most medications had a good impact on the patient's quality of life without major side effects. It is known that adverse events are proportional to the dose of psychotropics, so for each patient, it is necessary to individualize the conduct. Conclusion: Antidepressants were the best-tolerated drug class, but antipsychotics, anticonvulsants, and other more recent drugs such as agomelatine were part of the study of the main drugs used in clinical practice.
Sars -Cov-2 infection has been associated with clinical manifestations not only immunological, but also coagulative. A series of serological markers can increase its concentration when there is the presence of Thromboembolism (PTE) in patients with COVID-19, such as D-dimer, cardiac markers including cerebral natriuretic peptide, creatine kinase and troponin T. The immune factors that contribute to COVID-19 intravascular coagulopathy are: diffuse damage and alveolar inflammation; diffuse interstitial inflammation, extensive activation of pulmonary macrophages, dysregulation of innate pulmonary immune responses (eg, down regulation of angiotensin 2-converting enzyme receptor expression), adaptive immune responses to COVID-19, activation of innate immunity with advanced age and age-related coagulation cascade changes. This article shows a case report of a patient with COVID-19 and Pulmonary Thromboembolism, correlating the aspects observed in the patient's image and clinic with the current literature.
Liver abscess (HA) remains a serious and often difficult to manage problem. Infectious abscesses include those secondary to the direct extension of local infection, systemic bacteremia, and intra-abdominal infections that seed the portal system. However, over the years, the etiologies and risk factors for HA have continued to evolve. This work aims to carry out a bibliographic review regarding the approach of liver abscesses. This is a literature review, using studies published between 2020 and 2023 and indexed in the PUBMED database. Thus, studies were selected for this review using the search strategy, using keywords (MeSH): 'classification' AND 'diagnosis' AND 'treatment' AND 'liver abscess'. Immediate recognition is important to institute effective management and obtain good results.
A artrite reumatoide é uma doença inflamatória autoimune de caráter sistêmico que afeta predominantemente as pequenas articulações, apresentando frequentes manifestações extra articulares e, por vezes, atípicas. Este trabalho tem por objetivo realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura quanto apresentações atípicas da artrite reumatoide. Seguimos o método de revisão narrativa da literatura a partir de uma busca no banco de dados eletrônicos BVS para a identificação de artigos dos últimos 2 anos seguindo os itens de Diretrizes para Revisões Sistemáticas e Metanálises (PRISMA). Na estratégia de busca utilizamos os seguintes descritores em saúde: “artrite reumatoide” and “sintomas incomuns” OR “clínica atípica”. Esta patologia possui uma ampla ocorrência de sintomas que se acumulam ao longo da vida do paciente e possuem características inespecíficas. As manifestações atípicas da artrite reumatoide elevam a piora do prognóstico e reduzem a sobrevida do indivíduo, logo são de suma importância clínica.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
